Thalia

Only once, during the second race, first was Thalia, even after time correction bypassed Freya for 8 minutes and Tawera forced down to third place. During the third race the team Thalia made a sad mistake, starting from 4 seconds ahead of time. Judges punish the crew with a fine in 5 minutes, 9 seconds, and although Thalia still remained the third leading position Tawera and Freya strengthened. During the next race Thalia started with a delay of 4 minutes, 43 seconds and finished last.
